Cool idea. One problem though is that the site does not update the contents of a player's backpack unless someone views it (and then only up to once per hour). So any twitter or facebook post would be delayed by that.
Changing it to constantly update a player's backpack could be an issue since there would be tons of requests. Maybe just people who opt-in to twitter automation? Even then, it would be a lot of requests.

Opt in then every hour or so it updates the cache? That could work for a little while, or else you could make it cycle through at x minutes per group of users.

but i dont think that facebook myspace or twitter could handle that or could they? it would probablly just make the sights slower for the people using it.

Yep, definitely something to keep in mind.

Uhm? Those websites are a lot bigger and more popular than TF2items.com. I'm pretty sure they could handle the load...

Twitter API info for developers
I'm not much of a FB person so I can't say about that

I like this idea, though if it doesn't get implemented, it's not too big of a deal.
